Anyone that’s avoiding Let’s Encrypt because it is a US signing authority surely would jump for Cloudflare 🤭

It doesn’t help when the President of the United States is repeating and knowingly spreading disinformation.

However, it might backfire because in his taunt Trump challenged Talarico to debate Paxton. In the very first TV appearance after that Talarico responded that he’s ready and would while the Paxton campaign is the one making excuses trying to avoid a debate.

I’ve gotta say even normally progressive and anti-Trump MSNBC runs smack segments against Ken Martin gives me confidence that Democrats should let him cook and bring the DNC into a new chapter.

Good start, but time to also have a 2 year plan and start drafting Project 2029* if no Democrat has already.

The two most important questions being: “What concrete differences do Americans want to see in their lives compared to before and now?” and “How will we (extending to the whole world) create a system that prevents reactionary right-wing psycopath billionaire-funded culture war zone-flooding politics to pave the way back to fascism?”.

*Project 2029 seems to be a thing, but at first glance seems like a scaled down and focused effort on a couple issues, explictly not designed to be an all-encompassing vision as the Republican version was. I don’t think it goes far enough, so either it needs to have more sections added, or the Democratic Socialist and neolib organizations each start putting their thoughts in their own treatises to compare notes later.

I switched off Fido (Rogers budget carrier) not long ago, and I did get offered a sweet winback deal, but I told the contractor frankly that no, they’ve lost my trust after raising my monthly price 3 times in 18 months.

I’m especially glad I made the switch now that they’re trying this again.

I also advocate for incrementalism, but I do think that very progressive positions need to be staked out and anchored by certain members in Congress, to move the Overton window allowing more moderate Democrats to ‘make compromises’ and still land everyone in a better position.

For DHS/ICE, if Congress can’t herd enough cats to abolish them, they can hamstring anything they are permitted to do without a judge-signed warrant. They can also first cut the slush fund appropriated in 2025. If neither of those things work, they can change the purpose of DHS/ICE to go after employers who abuse undocumented workers or leverage restrictive visas against them, and help immigrants get visas instead of locking up and torturing them.

It’s easier to settle on the three improvement positions if the initial anchor is closer to the extreme.

Algeria appearing ever so slightly more pro-Russia than Russia is based.

I wonder if that will make any difference in Brazil’s runoff round of elections…, hopefully they can stay offline until the 25th, (or even Nov 3 would be nice)?

“A Better City” is a political party currently that messed up city affairs in Vancouver with Ken Sim and was also backed by wealthy interests. Hopefully kicked out soon by the progressive bloc. I wonder if that party is related to Bradford’s backers in Toronto in any way.

One of the TomsHW commentors made a good point: if this slop actually gets to a state where it functions properly for a lot of workflows, then it can help people chained to Windows because of Adobe products be liberated and move to Linux.

Secretary Hegseth probably grew up on alcoholic baby formula.

Hmmm I might just join the waitlist now, then. Because I wanted to give myself a few months to think it over, anyway.

Communism! Hasan Piker! Zohran Mamdani and his scary fast and free buses are coming for you! We’re losing the culture war to Abdul MOHAMED El-Sayed because he’s walking away from it on Fox News! Turn up the Islamophobiaaaa!

Is what Republicans will fall back on

It’s still slop, but potentially being used for good for once.

Greg Bovino’s successors have been making conscious efforts to make their Gestapo operations more discreet while increasing the number and frequency of arrests.

The only thing more tonedeaf and Microslop-like would be to offer Copilot subscriptions to try and hallucinate the data back.

I think the person who suggested this doesn’t realize a Congressperson’s salary is a tipped wage.

Oh, what an excellent choice! Time for many beloved Paramount and WB franchises to wither and die off, and a culture of harassment to foment at the new combined company.

Conservatives’ path to victory is pretty much they have to campaign with paper cutouts and keep the crazies and their province-wrecking plans tied up in a closet until election day.

Conservatives have shown themselves incredibly poor fiscal stewards across Canada. When they say they run government like a business, it is more like in a “make numbers look rosy this quarter, next quarter is someone else’s problem” way, as opposed to a business that intends to last into the long term. My biggest concern is that the province’s assets will be sold off by the BC Cons to pretend the budget hole is filled in whatever year they feel like they need to pretend they are fiscally responsible.
